Note:

McCall will be hosting one of the 3 Junior National Qualifier races this year (highlighted in yellow above). These events are primarily geared towards older juniors (U16 and older), but there are events for our younger skiers as well (as is the case with all of the races listed above).  It gives the little kids and adults a chance to watch the big kids race.  It is also a great chance for our team to make a few dollars through hosting the event.  For us to have a successful event though, we will be asking all of you to volunteer during the event so that we can continue to host these events in the future. So please put this event on your calendar now!

The Youth Ski Festival (highlighted in green above) has moved from Sun Valley to Jackson Hole for this next season. Granted it is a lot farther away, but the kids have lots of fun at this race.  You could also take an extra day on either side of the races and ski at either Jackson Hole Resort or at Grand Targhee.
